Kyser Hit Success , Formula At Song Contest In Youth On June 18, 1906, the stork deliv ered a prize package, for on that day Carolina's gift to the entertainment world, Kay Kyser, was born. Kay's formula for success, music plus mirth, first came to him in his youth at a song contest. For the con venience of his memory, he scribbled the three tunes he was going to sing on cards which he held behind his back. When his turn came, he started singing, but he forgot the words. In his confusion he looked at the wrong card and was suddenly singing- the lyrics of one tune to the music of an other. Howls of laughter shook the audience, but he was rewarded with a prize. While a student at Carolina he led his first band. This was his first step up the ladder. Soon after he graduat ed, he took bis orchestra to Europe, and thus established a name for him self. But it was a hard struggle. When Kyser was playing San Fran cisco's Bal Tabarin, only the faith of manager Frank Martinelli , kept him from getting. the bounce. Later Kyser rejuvenated his features and started clicking. Although Kay is today a star on the screen and in radio and is plan ning to retire, he still finds time to Gerrard Hall Site Of Assembly Called To Aid Reorganizing Historic Society Re-organizers Look To Philanthropic Society As Place For Students To Air Views On Problems Facing Campus By Bob Morrison After lying dormant since the early part of the war,, the -150-year-old Philanthropic Assembly will be re-organized at a mass meeting in Gerrard Hall November 13, at 7:30 p.m. The special committee of the Tar Heel staff has announced that students, faculty, alumni, and anyone who is interested may 'attend the mass meeting and aid in the reviving of .the historic society. The re-organizers hope to offer the Phi as the answer to a very definite need for a place where any student can present his views on vital problems facing the student body. Although the Phi wiJJ consist of a limited membership, its doors will be open to everyone as a medium for the ex pression of ideas. Members of Committee The committee appointed to re-organize the Phi consists of Howard Merry, Managing Editor of the Tar Heel; Jack Lackey, News Editor of the Tar Heel; Al Lowenstein, a member of the campus constitution committee of the student legislature ; and James McNider, a former member of the Dialectic Senate. . ' TH Staff Meeting Called By Editor The Tar Heel staff will hold a special meeting Tuesday evening at 7 :30 in Horace Williams Lounge, Graham Memorial. All persons who have been doing reporting, copy reading, or feature writing, or are interested in doing this type of work on the Tar Heel in the fu ture, are requested to attend this meeting. All reporting beats will be reassigned at this time. Those who are interested in working but are unable to attend, are asked to contact the News Editor before the meeting. Corrected Calendar For 1945-46 Issued By South Building The following statement concerning a correction in the 1945-J.946 calendar for the University has been issued by South building: Since the preparation of the mate rial and the printing of , the 1944-45 catalogue which announced a calendar based on a semester system, the Navy College Training Program has changed. This makes it possible to resume the quarter system on Janu ary 3, 1946. The following corrected calendar covers the period from October 29, 1945 until September 1, 1946, and supersedes all previous announce ments regarding ,the opening and closing dates of the various terms: October 26, Friday Beginning of Freshman Orientation Program; Oc tober 29, Monday Registration . for next short term; October 30, Tuesday All classes begin for this term; See CALENDAR, page 4.

V I v 3 The Phi, together with its sister society the Dialectic Senate, owns the most valuable portrait collection in the state of North Carolina. The Phi also owns the impressive Phi Cham ber on the fourth floor' of New East, which is now being used by the stu dent legislature. During the time that the Phi has been disorganized, the valuable portrait collection has been neglected, and several portraits have been damaged to the extent of several hundred .dollars. The fact that the neglect of material and cul tural wealth of the Phi has resulted in much injury to the studeirl body and University, was one of the fac tors which has prompted its re-organization. Returning alumni have been shocked by the fact that an organiza tion so closely linked with the advance ment of the University has been neg lected by the students. Di Met Student Needs During the years of war, when the student body suffered a tremendous decrease, the Dialectic Senate was suf ficient to meet the demands of the stu dent body for a discussion group on vital student problems, but today, with the expectation of an enrollment of 5000 students next year, the fact be comes clear that the Di will no long er be able to serve all interested stu dents. Each hall of the two societies can comfortably seat only 100 persons ; in recent months the Di has resorted to Gerrard Hall for sessions when the attendance exceeded the maximum seating capacity. The preservation of the great tra ditions of the University is still an other function envisioned for the re organized Phi. The present student body is woefully ignorant of the events which led up to the founding of the oldest state university in the United States and of the vital role the Uni versity has played in the state and na tion. The committee appointed to re organize the Phi believes that real school spirit can only be developed when the student body is aware of the traditions of the past and of the his tory of their alma mater. Liberal Attitude Although of great importance, the Carolina traditions will not form the sole basis of the Phi; instead, the study of this tradition will be used purely as a foundation for intelligent betterment of the University of the future. Believing that first on the list of Carolina's ideals is the liberal atti tude which breeds free speech and democratic action, the committee hopes that the Phi can become an in strument of expression for the stu dents, and a medium through which all students can work in order to pre sent their own views to someone who is interested in listening. General sentiment would now have the Phi concern itself primarily with problems local to the University and the stu dent body, but no subject must neces sarily be neglected which in any way concerns any student. The International Relations Club, the Carolina Political Union, and the Dialectic Senate are able, in the be lief of the committee, to adequately offer an opportunity to exchange ideas pertaining to foreign, national, and state affairs. However, the two for mer organizations ' do not fulfill the great need for student-centered dis cussion and action. Mass Meeting Decision With these functions and purposes in mind, the mass meeting will adopt a constitution, rules of order, and statement of purpose which will be agreeable to the will of the majority who attend the meeting in Gerrard Hall. It has been proposed that the Phi re-adopt the historic constitution of the Philanthropic Society, and that it be modified to meet the needs of to day. A very different constitution was adopted in 1919 when the Phi Society modeled its administration af ter that of the lower house of the Gen eral Assembly of the State of North Carolina, and many students have ex pressed a desire to revive the consti tution which was being used when the Phi disbanded at the early part of World War II. Still others think that an entirely new constitution should' be written which, in view of present needs, would be most applicable. The committee is now discussing these possibilities, and will present one or more constitutions ready for adoption at the mass meeting. It seems to be generally agreed among those who have expressed an interest that the Phi use "Robert's Rules of Order," the rule manual which is now used by the CPU, Di Senate, student legislature, IRC, and many other campus deliberative assemblies. It is' supposed that the proposed purposes will be as liberal and as un restricted as possible so that the Phi can engage in any activity which will better the student body and the Uni versity. It is not believed that the Phi will restrict itself purely to prob lems of sudent government and campus affairs, but these will probably be the keynote of the Phi. Other decisions such as the time of meeting, eligibility for charter mem bership, the election of officers, and the first topic of discussion will be made at the mass meeting. Time of Meeting It is proposed that the Phi meet on Tuesday night at a time when military students may attend. Other nights which seem to be definitely ex cluded because of the meeting of the IRC on Monday, the Di on Wednes day, the student legislature on Thurs day, dance and social functions on Friday and Saturday, and the CPU on Sundfy. Membership and Officers A temporary membership commit tee will probably be elected by the mass meeting; this committee would decide on those eligible for charter member ship. Officers may be elected by the mass meeting, or at a later time by the members chosen by the membership committee. Unless a radically new constitution is adopted, among officers elected would be a speaker, a speaker pro-tem, a head clerk, a parliamen tarian, a treasurer, and a sergeant-at-arms. The speaker would probably appoint the committees with or with out the consent of the executive com mittee or the body. The first topic to be discussed will probably be selected by the mass meet ing so that the topic most desired by the campus can be obtained. Other Attempts Proposals to re-organize the Phi have received the attention of campus organizations for several months, but until now no action has been taken. The Dialectic Senate went on record as unanimously approving the re-organization of the Phi, but it was felt that the incentive to re-organize the See PHI REVISION, page i. by" Cohen. v ... - . ' - .
